Pro Staff Racquet Which of the newer racquets is most like the purple Wilson Hammer 5.2?
I've been using the purple Hammer 5.2 for about 10 years. I've always liked it, but it is a DISCONTINUED model. I have 2 left, (after breaking 3 others..little anger mgt.). I've been able to find some on Ebay, but otherwise, hard to find.
Therefore, I'd like to switch to a newer racquet with newer technology. I've tried several of the Wilson n-codes without much luck. I do like head-heavy racquets to help my serve, but I like to be able to take a full swing when I'm able. So I need a flexible frame like the Pro-staff 6.0 (i.e. Pete Sampras), but that too is becoming a dinasaur. I don't like oversized (110 sq.in.); I prefer 95 (mid-size) and thinner frames.
Anyone have any helpful suggestions on any of the newer Wilsons, Heads, or Princes? Again, mid-size, head-heavy, around 10 oz frame....non-stiff frame.
Thx, Ziel. That's helpful info!
Unfortunately, almost all the racquet brands have switched back to making either even-balanced or head-light racquets. It's not that head heavy racquets are bad, but if used incorrectly they can easily cause injuries. The best I can find is the Hammer 5.3 Stretch. The biggest difference would be the added length. They still sell them here:

Selecting the Best Sports, Fitness and Social Health Club
Joining a Fitness and Health Club is a great way of maintaining active lifestyle, spending your leisure time having pure fun and the best way to expand your social network. It is very important to know whether the club suits your personal interest, so before signing below the dotted line, consider all the pros and cons, before taking a decision.
The first and foremost thing to consider before joining health club or fitness club is its location. It is always better to have the club close by to your office or house, so that you will not have excuse of going regularly due to distance. Survey shows that those members who live far away from the health and fitness clubs, they do not go to health club on regular basis.
The next thing to consider is staff and customer care. Professional trainers and instructors should be certified. If you suffer from any pre-existing disease or physical limitations, in such circumstances, ensure your instructor will be able to handle and work with you. Look and watch out for the customer care of the health club and see if they answer your questions, clarify your doubts and are polite. If the health and fitness club have dietitians, physical therapists and massage therapists additional services, it is always better.
The next question to ask is the availability for what service you are looking for. Say if you are interested in learning tennis, see if they have the classes at convenient times suited to you.
The best way to know if the particular health and fitness club will work for you is to go for trial class. Most health and fitness clubs offer trial classes. During the actual trial class you will know whether you like the instructor, able to understand him and if you feel comfortable in the class, you can also know more about the pace of the class, music, if sufficient space available and other personal preferences you have.
Look out for the equipment the health and fitness club has. The equipment most is modern, clean and up to date. Also ensure they have enough numbers of all equipment so that you need not wait in queue for your workout. Remember treadmills and bicycles are the most used equipments in fitness and health clubs.
One of the important aspects of health and fitness club is social interaction. Most health and fitness clubs have space for social gathering with comfortable couches and chairs. A good health and fitness club is well equipped with coffee, tea and juice machines.
Other miscellaneous things to look out for are parking space, condition of bathroom and showers, and see if the whole facility is maintained well.
